Lisbon Students Recognized for Excellence in Art‏

LISBON STUDENTS RECOGNIZED FOR EXCELLENCE IN ART

Hannah Stritch

Adrienne Bolton

Lisbon High School students Hannah Stritch and Adrienne Bolton will be exhibiting their artwork in statewide exhibits. The program is supported and promoted by the Maine Art Education Association.

Lisbon - Youth Art Month has been nationally observed during the month of March for the past 36 years. The Maine Art Education Association is pleased to work with the Portland Museum of Art (PMA) and the Maine Education Association in presenting exhibitions of exceptional K-12 student artwork from all over the state. These exhibits reflect the important role that art programs fulfill in our schools, by teaching students the complexities of visual expression. MAEA would like to recognize the dedication of their art teachers and the support and encouragement of the students’ parents, guardians, family, friends, and school administration.

“Lisbon High School (LHS) is proud to announce two student-artists selected to exhibit in these statewide exhibits,” shares LHS art teacher, Pam Ouellette. “Senior, Hannah Stritch will be exhibiting her mixed media piece titled “Cora’s Letter” in the Portland Museum of Art. The PMA opening for this exhibit will be held on Saturday, March 7^th, 4-7pm. Sophomore, Adrienne Bolton, will be exhibiting her mixed media photogram, “Cat Walk” at the MEA YAM exhibit at the MEA building in Augusta.” The opening event will be on Sunday, March 8^th, 1-2:30pm. Congratulations to those dedicated art students!
